Funk Party.
I'm pretty sure that we completely missed the Baile Funk train... but, we recently stumbled across this well-loved collection of mid-nineties Brazilian records and felt compelled to share.

01. MC Kojak - "Dança Da Bundinha Ro JJ"
02. Marcelo Do Rap + MC Pulunga - "Rap Do Trem"
03. MC Marcio + MC Goró - "Liberdade Dos Funkieros"
04. MC Ailton + MC Binho - "Rap Da Massa Funkeira"

Charley Harper
This is my new obsession!!! Just discovered the work of this modernist artist and I absolutely love it!!!
The illustration and posters are beautiful and are made with a very refreshing sense of humor.
You can find more information about Charley Harper here and see/purchase some of his work at charleyharperartstudio.com.
The site is run by his family and they have products for every budget (the cards on the picture were $2 each).
Enjoy!!!

My first knitting project
I just finished my first knitting project! I am so excited!!!
It is a little uneven since I was trying both english and continental knitting. As of now I think I like continental better (maybe because I learned crochet before, when I was younger?).
Anyway, to all my friends who are knitting I would love to see what you've been making.
I'm so excited!!!
